Song lyrics

[Intro: Kanye West]
Yeah, 9:08 L.A. time,
Back in the lab and shit.

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
My wife said, I can't say no to nobody
And at this rate we gon' both die broke.
Got friends that ask me for money knowin' I'm in debt,
And like my wife said, I still didn't say no.
People tryna say I'm goin' crazy on Twitter,
My friends' best advice was to stay low,
I guess it's hard to decipher all of the bills,
Especially when you got family members on payroll.
The media said it was outlandish spendin',
The media said he's way out of control,
I just feel like I'm the only one not pretendin',
I'm not out of control, I'm just not in they control.
I know I'm the most influential,
That TIME cover was just confirmation,
This generation's closest thing to Einstein,
So don't worry about me, I'm fine.
I can see a thousand years from now in real life,
Skate on the paradigm and shift it when I feel like,
Troll conventional thought, don't need to question,
I know it's antiquated so sometimes I get aggressive.
Thank God For Jay Electra, he down with the mission,
Did it with with no permission on our own conditions,
Most Blacks with money have been beaten to submission,
Yeezy with the big house, did it way different.
Never listen to Hollywood producers,
Don't stare at money too long, it's Medusa,
The ultimate Gemini has survived,
I wasn't supposed to make it past 25.

[Chorus: Sampha]
And you're looking at the church in the night sky
Wondering whether God's gonna say hi.
Oh, you're looking at the church in the night sky,
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife.
Yeah, you're looking at the church in the night sky,
Father, father, father...
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say hi.
The night sky, yeah, I feel like I'm home, yeah!

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
I've been wakin' the spirits of millions more to come,
A million illegally downloaded my truth over the drums,
I believe in the children, listen to the kids, bro,
If the phone ringin', go and get your kids, ho!
Brother Don Muhammad told the minister about the presentation,
He sat back and smiled.
Black on black lies is worse than black on black crime,
The Jews share their truth on how to make a dime,
Most black men couldn't balance a checkbook,
But buy a new car talkin' 'bout, "How my neck look?"
Well... It all looks great,
Four hundred years later we buyin' our own chains.
The light is before us, brothers, so the devil workin' hard,
Real family stick together and see through the mirage,
The smokescreens, perceptions of false reality,
Who the real owner if your boss gets a salary?
I am one with the people,
I am one with the people, real!
I've been woken from enlightened man's dream,
Checkin' Instagram comments to crowdsource my selfesteem.
Let me not say too much or do too much,
‘Cause if I'm up way too much, I'm out of touch,
I'm prayin' a out-of-body experience will happen,
So the people can see my light, now it's not just rappin'.
God, I have humbled myself before the court,
Drop my ego and confidence was my last resort,
I know, I know he got a plan, I know I'm on your beams,
One set of footsteps, you was carryin' me,
When I turned on the news and they was buryin' me,
One set of footsteps, you was carryin' me.
When I was negotiatin' with Apple, it was Larry and me,
Told Tim Cook to call me, I was scary to see,
I would've took a hundred million and gave twenty to Hov,
I heard it's the way they did it when we only had a stove.
But it's better that I stayed at home with my folks,
‘Cause if Jay a billionaire, then I'ma never go broke.
Only thing I ask is next time I'm on stage we all go,
We all go,
Not just by myself, lookin' for niggas like Where's Waldo?
She got the same shoes as my wife but she copped 'em at Aldo,
Modern day MJ with a off the wall flow.

[Bridge: Sampha]
My life, walk all over me,
Walk all over me.
I'm delivering everything I've ever sent to you, bring.
Fly, fly, fly overseas,
Fly overseas,
Oh, anywhere, everything but in between.

[Chorus: Sampha]
And you're looking at the church in the night sky
Wondering whether God's gonna say hi.
Oh, you're looking at the church in the night sky,
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife.
Yeah, you're looking at the church in the night sky,
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say hi.
Oh, you're looking at the church in the night sky,
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife.

[Verse 3: Sampha]
Please, face me when I speak,
Please, say to me something before you leave,
You've been treating me like I'm invisible,
Not visible to you.
Oh, the invisible truths they sold,
I can't quite understand the games you play,
Understand, understand,
Understand I'm standing under oath,
And I promised I, I wouldn't fall anymore,
But I'm crying at the bar.
I'm wishing that you saw my scars,
I'm wishing that you came down here
And stood by me
Like you knew me,
But I feel so alone,
Like I don't know anyone but the night sky.

[Chorus: Sampha]
And you're looking at the church in the night sky
Wondering whether God's gonna say hi.
Oh, you're looking at the church in the night sky,
Father, father, father...
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife.
Yeah, you're looking at the church in the night sky,
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say hi.
Oh, you're looking at the church in the night sky,
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife.
Father, father, father...
